Praise for Seven Marathons. Seven Continents. One Week.
"Ellen Hunter Gans writes with a humble self-deprecation that is juxtaposed by her remarkable accomplishments. Seven Marathons. Seven Continents. One Week. takes on an unforgettable journey of exploration, discovery and triumph. I was hooked from the beginning and couldn't stop turning the pages to see what unfolded next!"
—DEAN KARNAZES, ultramarathoner and New York Times bestselling author
"This unforgettable book is a phenomenally uplifting example of what happens when ordinary people say yes to extraordinary things. Ellen takes readers on a journey, not of podium finishes or personal bests, but of shared humanity at its rawest, most ridiculous, and most beautiful."
—CHRISSIE WELLINGTON, OBE, four-time IRONMAN® Triathlon World Champion
Includes a foreword from David Kelly, Director of The Great World Race
"The Great World Race creates the space for something beyond performance: for reflection, perspective, and discovery. The role of the event is to enable that, so participants can focus on the experience itself. Ellen captures that journey with clarity and wit, reminding us that endurance is not just about finishing, but about what you discover along the way. Because in the end, that’s what The Great World Race is really about."
